Application Harmonisation using Design Principles in LeanIXLeanIX GmbH
Rainer Bartsch, Senior Enterprise Architect at RWE/Innogy give insights into Application Harmonization at EA Connect Days 2018 in Bonn: The Energy Trading business has been changing from high to low margins, from long running contracts to highly volatile (intraday) markets, from a few big players to many smaller market participants and to a business model that requires us to approach new markets and opportunities around the globe.
Such constant business change, over time, results in a quite diverse IT landscape using all kinds of technologies and a hell of a lot of people to keep it running. This obviously is adverse business change but what can I do to harmonise my IT environment or prevent to get into such a situation? For sure, it doesn’t happen by accident or just by having a bunch of good developers, a set of architecture guidelines and tools!
Bartsch demonstrated RWE's approach to application harmonisation based on a business & IT commitment to deliver IT solutions against a set of 10 Design Principles. This includes LeanIX as our application inventory and two different examples on how to cover Design Principles, first as Custom Tags and second as Custom Fact Sheets.

Visualization of Enterprise Architecture DataLeanIX GmbH
Dr. Ingo Schrewe from incowia presented on the visualization of EA data during EA Connect Days 2018 in Bonn. One of the core results of EAM and therefore an important task for EAs and EA teams is creating sustainable transparency of the application landscape and all related data. This will be the foundation of planning, adapting and optimizing IT assets to reach and support business goals, to be more flexible and to achieve muchbetter customer orientation. But all this data and tasks must be measured and continuously questioned to achieve the objectives and mission of EAs. Evaluation and representation or visualization of EA data is therefore one of the core tasks to be able to fulfill the transparency requirements.

A Journey to a Serverless Business Intelligence, Machine Learning and Big Dat...DataWorks Summit
In this talk we will describe the journey we made with one of our customers, Volotea, to deploy a serverless Business Intelligence (BI), Machine Learning (ML) and Big Data (BD) platform on the Cloud. The new platform leverages Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) Cloud services, and it is the result of the reengineering and extension of an existing platform based on Cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) services and bare-metal systems. Managing and maintaining BI, ML and BD platforms based on bare-metal or IaaS deployments is not a straightforward task, and as size and complexity grow, we often find ourselves spending more and more time in tasks that are rather administrative, more than of a development or analytics nature. That is exactly what Volotea realized, and together we envisioned and executed a plan to lift and reengineer their platform into a new solution that leverages Microsoft Azure PaaS services. We have delivered a solution that manages to greatly reduce the administrative burden as well as the technical complexity when implementing new use cases. The new platform is based on the Microsoft Azure stack and it includes Azure Data Lake, Azure Data Lake Analytics, Azure Data Factory, Azure Machine Learning and Azure SQL Database. Join us in this talk where we will share our lessons learned and we will discuss how to plan and execute such an endeavor.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
